FUN-LOVING youngsters had a cracking time during the Easter holidays at a scheme provided by Rhondda Cynon Taf Council’s services for young people.

Tonyrefail’s Four Seasons Community Centre’s holiday care scheme included arts, crafts, cooking, games, day trips, computer consoles and more – all aimed at enabling children aged three to 11 to allow them to enjoy the school holidays in a happy and safe environment.

The club was launched in response to requests for a holiday scheme from parents who completed to a questionnaire delivered to primary schools in the area by the council, asking them what services they would like to see.

They asked for safe and affordable holiday child care that was also stimulating and great fun for their children.

Using funding from the council’s services for young people community-focused school childcare service, the scheme was launched in the October half term last year and has gone from strength to strength.

The holiday care scheme is just one of the great activities at Four Seasons, which is at the heart of the community, offering a range of services for families.

Rhondda Cynon Taf Council’s cabinet member for education, skills and lifelong learning, Coun Eudine Hanagan, who is also the ward member for Tonyrefail West, said: “Four Seasons is a real treasure and I am so pleased we have been able to respond to the needs of parents in the area.

“We are committed to providing the services that children, young people and their families rely upon to have the best start in life and this holiday care club offers an affordable – and fun – solution to the issues identified by parents in the area.
